I know this is dumb, and probably mentioned before by someone, but this is the kind of nerd I am:
Renee is from French and means "reborn" or "born again". Renee Good. Good, born again.
And (according to Wikipedia) Nicole means "victory of the people".
May it come to pass, in her honor.

California is preparing to send its own state observers to watch over federal monitors from President Donald Trump’s Department of Justice. The move underscores a growing standoff between state election officials and a federal government many voting rights advocates say is weaponizing oversight.

So we are supposed to believe that Trump had proof that the survivors of his latest attack were narco terrorists, but then he let them go home?

Take a picture of yourself at the No Kings rally.

Your grandchildren will speak about you for generations to come. You took a stand against fascism. You stood up for democracy.

For Expertise to Matter, Nonpartisan Institutions Need New Communications Strategies
To avoid irrelevance when they are needed most, experts and nonpartisan analysts must rethink not just their channels of communication but also their theory of influence.

The truth of the matter is that if anyone but Charlie Kirk had been killed at today’s shooting, then Charlie Kirk would be out there right now using the shooting as pretext to deliver arguments designed to make sure that the next shooting would happen, and the next one, and the next, and the next.

Charlie Kirk spent his life‘s work and all of his energy and time targeting out-groups while arguing for a world in which gun massacres would be easy to enact, plentiful, and inevitable, and he became famous and wealthy doing it, and we’re now not supposed to mention that because it’s not polite.

Don’t wish murder on anyone because then you wish it on everyone. Don’t minimize a murder cuz you didn’t like the murder victim It’s not funny. It’s not edgy. It’s not justice. It’s murder. Each murder is the death of us all in very real ways. I know, I’ve died far too much for one life.

When I hear that the post office lost money, I think this: Good. We already paid for it. Why on earth should it make even more money from us? Who would keep the money? Would we see it?

I don't want to start a thing so I'll just say that there will never be a good argument for privatizing USPS. That would be like privatizing libraries. The aim of services isn't to be run for profit, they are for serving the greater good, which USPS has been extremely successful at.

Somewhere along the line the idea took hold that every part of public life needs to be efficient, an efficiency exclusively expressed in terms of whether or not it makes money. "Makes money for who, exactly?" is a question that is never asked.
